For cheeks: Highlight the higher point of your cheekbones with Albatross Highlighting Blush for a brightening glow.

For eyes: Blend Albatross over your eyes to brighten and contour with Sex Appeal for a softly defined eye. Intensify with Dolce Vita on your lids and under your eyes or, to contour. Angelika creates a soft haze under the eyes for a moody effect against dark eyeliner.

Voyeur

Shade your eyes with icy tones of silver, gray, and blue to define. Further define your eyes by lining inside with Most Wanted Eyeliner for a brightening effect that's seductive and sexy. Add black liner anytime the blue becomes too bold. Black liner will define the eyes and allow the blue to brighten the white in your eyes.

For a jewel-toned lip with a shiny finish, smooth on Nars Baroque Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil. Finish with Nars Lip Gloss or Triple X clear Lip Gloss for a vinyl effect. Triple X will create that effect when paired with any lip shade, adding shine without changing the base color.

Crime of Passion

Blend eye shadows onto your eyes from your lashes to your brows, starting with the light, then medium, and then dark. Blending from your lash line up will allow you to start light and intensify the colors by going darker as you layer each shade.

One Night Stand

When really going for it with blush, try a more neutral eye or lip. If you're focusing on blush, don't go all the way with eyes, cheeks, and lips or you'll distract from the blush as a statement. Sweep on a blush that feels neutral or is in your comfort zone and pop the apples of your cheeks with a brighter blush. Add dimension to your cheeks by contouring with a browner or darker color in the hollow part below your cheekbone.
